Widening the Circle of “Us” with
Dr. Rick Hanson

As Dr. Rick Hanson points out, for the last 2 million years our ancestors have succeeded in preserving “us” by repelling “them.” But in modern times, with 7.5 billion people sharing the earth, this ancient tendency to fear and attack can be very harmful. Luckily, there is a way to take hold of this tendency, and put it to good use. This is what Dr. Hanson Calls “widening the circle of us.”
